Okay so my grandma (dad’s side) passed away, and then my grandpa who was healthier and stronger died within the same year. On my mom’s side however, my grandpa passed away after struggling with illness and my grandma is still going strong 7 years later.
On another note, I remember an interview where women and men were asked to choose if they’d rather die or their spouses, and all men answered they’d rather die first, but all the women said they’d rather live on and their husbands die instead.
